4 theories why Dean Ambrose is still being advertised for WWE shows

#1 Card subject to change!

You needn't look any further than the 2019 Royal Rumble for a better example of the biggest disclaimer in WWE history: ‘Card subject to change.’

WWE’s flagship show, Monday Night Raw, revolved around Brock Lesnar vs. Braun Strowman from November 2018 to January 2019, with Strowman having to earn his opportunity to face “The Beast” at the Rumble by defeating Baron Corbin at TLC.

Once that task was accomplished, the build to Lesnar vs. Strowman continued for another four weeks until, out of absolutely nowhere, Vince McMahon removed “The Monster Among Men” from the match and switched it to Lesnar vs. Finn Balor.

On the same card, John Cena had been advertised throughout January to participate in the Royal Rumble, despite already revealing in media interviews that he would be flying to Canada a week before the event to begin shooting a new movie.

As it turned out, on the day of the Rumble, WWE announced that Cena had an ‘injury’ and he could not compete. In hindsight, it seems that he was only advertised in the first place to build interest ahead of the PPV.

With those recent examples in mind, it would not be a surprise if Dean Ambrose is still being advertised simply to get people talking and wondering if he will stay. After all, every event states ‘card subject to change’, so nobody can complain if he doesn’t show!
